Atlanta US Service Branch Manager

POSITION SUMMARY

WeldFit is expanding its HTLS field service footprint with a new service center in Atlanta, GA. We are seeking a hands-on Atlanta US Service Branch Manager to stand up and lead this new location, ensuring customers receive reliable, high-quality service that drives repeat business and supports a profitable, safe, and growing operation across the Southeast US market.

This role owns the full performance of the Atlanta service center—operations, personnel, equipment, and safety—while also driving projects and job execution originating in the region. Primarily focused on Hot Tap and Line Stop (HTLS) services, with room to grow into ISW, Recompression, and Pigging services as the center matures, the ideal candidate is equally comfortable running the branch day-to-day and representing WeldFit in front of customers to grow the local book of business.
